After a trillion tons of CO2, the Great Barrier Reef hits record coral cover third year in a row

In 1985 humans were emitting only 19.6 billion tons of CO2 each year, and now we emit 37 billion tons. In the meantime AIMS have been dragging divers thousands of kilometers over the reefs to inspect the coral cover. These are the most detailed underwater surveys on the largest reef system in the world, and they show that far from being bleached to hell, the corals are more abundant than we have ever seen them.

As Peter Ridd points out, when the reef was doing badly, AIMS was happy to combine the data on the whole reef, so we could lament its demise.

Growing up in suburban Calgary, Poilievre enjoyed competitive sports like hockey, football, and wrestling—though a shoulder tendinitis injury at age 14 sidelined him from the latter, prompting him to accompany his mother to a Progressive Conservative meeting that sparked his lifelong interest in politics!
